a little crochet moment

It's been a while since we had a crochet moment on here, hasn't it? I think the last time was when I finished my odds-and-ends blanket back in May, but be assured that my hook has not been idle and here is the result: a lovely soft warm scarf in the baby-soft cashmerino that I bought in the summer.

It's such a beautiful colour and just right for autumn. The stitch is very simple and if anybody is interested, the details are below.

Five balls of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in shade 025 using a 5mm hook using treble stitch which is double in US crochet lingo (I think).
One shell = 2 tr, 1 ch, 2 tr.

Repeat row 2 until scarf is desired length.NB I have edited this to correct the previous instruction which Jacqui kindly pointed out was wrong. I originally wrote 'repeat row 1'. This wouldn't have made sense anyway, so hopefully nobody's scarf has got in a twist. But it's right now (19.11.2012).

This is lovely. I am only just learning to crochet, but I am going to give this a try. Scary prospect, but your scarf looks fabulous and you've inspired me, and I can, at least, already hook a treble! Thank you for sharing :D

Wow sue, your scarf looks wonderful........♥ the colour. Shame it doesn't have a lovely name rather than a number.Would love to have a go at the pattern, but there's a blanket that needs finishing first....

What a lovely colour in my favourite green tonality!! And a beautiful scarf! Maybe one day I'll take the hook and learn to stitch. But for now I can only knit (to be honest I haven't done it for ages!!). These days I've been sewing puppets together with my husband for our new performance. So... I have at least a big needle in hands.:0)Have a golden autumn weekend, Sue!

Hi Suzana, I'm sorry I don't remember how long the scarf took me, but I guess it would depend on how fast you crochet and how often you're able to sit down and do a little bit. Good luck with your projects!

Hi SueJust s quick question - in your instructions you give details for Row 1 and Row 2 and then say repeat Row 1 until scarf is desired length.I showed this pattern to a friend of mine who can crochet and she asked if you only had to repeat Row 1 and not both Row 1 & Row 2?Jacqui

absolutely love this pattern. I have 3 little girls wanting a scarf and this pattern is prefect, it's so quick and easy. Basically I cut the pattern in half, used a 6.00 needle, and super bulky (6) yarn. They are turning out beautiful. Thank you

Trouble is I'm just starting to learn how to crochet, did a few amiguri's but this is challenging for me. Do you make the first treble in the first chain from hook and then how do you count the 4th chain from hook after that chain, because there's that treble between it...Sorry for all these questions but I think that once I get over the first few steps I could do it!
